Male giraffes eat the same food as female giraffes. All giraffes are herbivores and primarily eat leaves, grazing on the foliage of trees in the African bush. They prefer plants of the Mimosa (acacia) genus and combretum species, but they feed on the leaves of over 100 varieties of plants.
They also eat berries and fruits from trees when they are in season. Their long necks enable them to reach the treetops, which are out of reach of other herbivores.
Although herbivorous, giraffes are known to visit carcasses and lick dried meat off bones.

I've been doing a school project and one question asked which group of mammals the zebra belongs to and after a long time searching for the answer I found it! The answer to this hard question is… the zebra belongs to the Perissodactyla.
There is also the
Kingdom: Anlmalla
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Perissodactyla
Family:Equidae
Genus:Equus
Species: Equus Grevyi Oustaletyou can remember it by King Phillip Came Over For Grape Soda
Hope this helped!!!!!
They can talk about the same amount as any other animal. They may be able to communicate slightly with each other but not really with humans.
Giraffes have adapted to environments where a main food source is leaves of trees. In areas where trees are far taller, the taller giraffes are able to eat and reproduce mor successfully and carry on the gene for greater height, this has continued, giving giraffes long necks which allow the consumption of food sources at greater heights.
there is interaction between a giraffe and human but there is not cause they are not part of the same family like cheetahs and leopards

the answer is shy yet fierce at times. giraffes are very smart, they are also very loving to their young. click the link to join my facebook group about girrafes.
Giraffes are widely found in Africa. Their habitat range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south. It usually inhabits Savannas and grasslands of Africa. They prefer forests with lots of acacia trees which are its main source of food.
Do you mean (What color is a giraffe's tongue)?
If you mean that, maybe yellow, red, or pink.
Since giraffe pregnancies lasts more than one year, they have less than one calf each year.
Giraffe's usually inhabit Savannas and Grasslands that are abundant in trees like Acacia, Commiphora, Combretum etc. They browse on twigs of tree, preferringt he Acacia, Commiphora and Terminalia. They also feed on grass and fruits. They dont prefer grass much because, they have to bend down to graze, which isnt so easy if we consider its size. A giraffe eats around 65 pounds (around 30 kilos) of vegetation daily, but during lean periods, they can survive with around 15 pounds.
After they become extinct, the plants grow and become overpopulated. The plants start to die off. Anything that eats a giraffe will die of starvation. Also, Anal beads will skyrocket in popularity.
No. Giraffes are placental mammals, not marsupials, so they do not have pouches.
No. I think you are getting confused between and tiger and a giraffe?
they have something that looks like whiskers, only that they are placed all around the nose and mouth. They function the same way.
It takes any where from 15 minutes to several hours depending on the size of the the giraffe and the amount of vomit. They are known to projectile vomit so if you notice a giraffe that is nausiated then be sure to steer clear and give it lots of time and space. A giraffe specialist can help with medication.
I do hate to be difficult, But Giraffes happen to be the same as Horses physically Incapible of Vomiting, They have to long necks. But there are Illnesses that can Harm there bodies and begin to force food etc. Back up there throats in the wild this is very dangerous many die, or go rapid, In zoo's they've discovered some ways to help cure or help it along in minutes it's also not food actually it's more Tissue some food though but it's not common nor' is the illness, My aunt studies Giraffes.
so they can eat at tall trees or reach trees to eat
It is too cold and there is not enough vegetation to sustain a herd of giraffe's.
lions, wild beasts, zebras and cheetah's.. that's all i know.
A giraffe fit's in to the ecosystem but all the plant e.g. trees, plants and many others. That is why the giraffe has a very long neck to get it food off the tree so the zoo kkepper doesn't have to keepgoing back when the giraffe is hungry
They mostly need lots of trees with lots of leaves, the climate has to warm, and they need to live around other animals (not predators)
it feels long, slimy, warm piece of meat. Their tongue is gneral 18 inches long. I went to the zoo once and got one right across my face when i wasn't looking. I never thought I would say this, bu t actually felt really good, except the slime got all over my face.
